Dangerous assignment starring Brian Donileve as Steve Mitchell Danger is my assignment. I get sent to a lot of places.

The authorities there found half the formula on his body. What do you mean, half of it? The formula is in two parts, Steve. Whoever stole it didn't realize that, and only got half. He probably figured on making a fortune out of it on the open market.

But he must realize by now that one half is worthless without the other. In that case, you'll probably try and get that other half. Exactly. Where is it? In the custody of a British intelligence agent named Snell and sort of by a Java.
